Weren't you one of the people selling that SG extra was the game's saving grace? :V

Actually phantasm isn't as preset at that. I've found multiple ways to handle each part like any other extra.

AAAAARRRRRGHHH

why do controllers suck so much for Touhou?
i played with my wifi xbox 360 controller until last week when i decided to start playing with my old keyboard, since the main one is wireless and lags so much..
but it broke...

now i just can't get used to playing with the controller anymore.. seems like i just can't move just a little bit...

it was ok for playing on easy, but to play on normal with it is just impossible

I try using my ps3 controller occasionally.. I haven't figured out when it's better or not really.. Basically I couldn't even get past orin in SA 1cc on normal.. then I used a controller and I 1cc'd the whole game on my first try, and again after that... Wiped on orin again after going back to keyboard.

Seems like every other touhou I do better using the keyboard.

IN is by far the *WORST* touhou to use a controller on, it's wayyy to sensative.. for example if you are holding the analog stick right and you let go, you wont stop, you'll inch left then stop cuz the little picometer that the analog thing "bounces" left to on the way back to rest registers as a move left in IN for me.. ughhhhh..

Once you get past the midboss it's actually a lot of fun. The problem is that to get there it's usually 5 minutes of restarting due to deaths on either the stupid laser grid or the damn midboss.

Yes. It uses the horrible mid-sized bullets which make everything total garbage in EoSD.
ARRRGH GODDAMN METAL FATIGUE BULLETS AAARRRRGGGHH

The same bullet sprite in all other games has around HALF the hitbox. Goddamn Metal Fatigue bullets (for that is how I will always know them, because Metal Fatigue killed me SO MANY TIMES when I was going for my Normal 1cc).

Are those by chance the same bullets that Remila uses on her opener (the mid sized ones in that spell), and young demon lord?

I've been killed by those so many times expecting their hitbox to be forgiving only to realize that it is not..at all... Now I just treat them as such.. I honestly think the hitbox on those are bigger than the bigass dougnut shaped bullets (which I've learned to graze thru..yes thru on her opener, NOT the mid sized ones).

That's why you use the D-pad. I do. (Not that I have a choice anyway, the analog sticks on my controller suck due to the square aperture.)

lmagus · « **Reply #755 on:** July 14, 2009, 02:00:51 PM »

the d-pad on the xbox360 controller doesn't work on touhou.
nor does the analog on IN...

so i'm stuck with the analog for all games except IN where I have no choice but use a keyboard.. and since i don't have one anymore.. i can't play IN

I'll buy a really cheap one just to play touhou =P

I'd use the dpad but it just doesn't work in touhou for me for some reason.. I can assign other buttons but that one *shrugs*.

lmagus · « **Reply #758 on:** July 14, 2009, 08:10:00 PM »

the d-pad works in PS2 controllers.. where you can turn off analog.. can you do the same in PS3 controller?

Analog controllers are weird in that respect - like in older PS1 titles (such as Final Fantasy Tactics), hitting the Analog button (or whatever the corresponding button is on your controller) will switch the controls from the sticks to the buttons and vice-versa.

There is that analog button, but the thing doesn't seem to do anything... I'd use a ps2 controller but mine are kinda old and beat up (I purchased my ps2 used and the controllers were kinda worn to begin with...I don't know how people wear out their stuff so badly so fast. I play my games to death and everything I own is still in perfectly fine condition.. minus the NES...which doesn't count cuz I think those things just age poorly).

Yeah, that's them. Young Demon Lord Hard is still a joke, but on Lunatic she throws too damn many of the Metal Fatigue Bullets...

Sucks being out of practice for HRtP.

...looks like I'll be spending this evening learning to control the ball properly again.

EDIT: Yep. Definitely out of practice.

Nuclear Fusion · « **Reply #767 on:** July 16, 2009, 06:12:37 PM »

1 second!

That's all that was left on the timer. I was going to capture Benevolent Orleans Dolls, pacifist style.

But I died on 1 second left of the clock.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Actually it was your replay that encouraged me to try and play on hard mode this morning.. I haven't even finished other Touhous on Normal yet..
I just got to Sanae boss again, thanks! =D

My friends have been telling me that it's harder to play Touhou standing up than it is sitting down so I tried it with SA...they were right. I got Game Over'd by Yamame on Hard Mode.

You made me want to try MoF Hard (you seem close to my skill level). After a few runs ended in stage 1 (why the hell am I going for score!?), I managed to reach Sanae's last spellcard (and got quite close to capturing it at zero power).

I was tempted to restart after a stupid death with 3-4 power on stage 2, but that's nothing compared to the 2 incredibly dumb deaths at the start of stage 5. How dumb you ask? I'd say dumber than missing the safespot on Icicle Fall ~ Easy. No, really. Replay

As a side note, what should I do to make MoF lag less? It lags on one of Hina's spellcards, and it prevents me from recording anything because it's way too slow.

lmagus · « **Reply #774 on:** July 17, 2009, 01:44:10 AM »

are you playing on a notebook? i get lag at Hina's 3rd and 4th spellcard too when i play on my notebook. damn intel IGP!

I can't stand dying on 2nd and 3rd stages anymore!

I swear I'll play it safe from now on and use those damned bombs! >(

Get used to it. It's not such a bad thing sometimes. And in some cases, you won't be able to avoid it unless you're that good.

lmagus · « **Reply #776 on:** July 17, 2009, 02:52:44 AM »

one out of ten tries i get to 3rd stage's boss without losing a life... only to lose 3 to her... =(

i've just got to 5th stage with 3 lives and still didnt manage to get to 6th

Yes, I'm using a notebook, a Gateway something with Vista. I found the config thing and will put the graphics to 16bit to see what it does.

For deaths in stages, I restart if I die in stage 1, stage 2 depends on my mood, but it's normal to lose a life on stage 3. It's not like it's really easy not to die, and that death shouldn't make enough of a difference to prevent a 1cc. It's the last 3 stages that you need to practice after all, so that you don't lose 3 lives on all of them.

For bombs, the only reason I managed to get anywhere is because I bomb-spammed the hell out of everything, because I'm too lazy to go into stage practice and prefer to stumble blindly into stuff.

Oh, and I hate Sea Opening ~ Moses Miracle, so I don't even try to dodge it and bomb after 2 seconds.

LHCling · « **Reply #778 on:** July 17, 2009, 10:55:53 AM »

"Bubble Bullets" in EoSD are larger than their equivalent in the other games.

Oh I've captued that one a few times... just stay under her, and when the wave opens on the other side, quickly run there and then slowly come back. wait until the wave goes to the other side, and repeat.
i hate her non cards. her sub boss opener is complete BS, and so is her boss opener. that ALWAYS walls me. it was so easy up until normal mode =(
